Trolling with credible sources?

Did you ever bother to read the conclusion of the last source you quoted?

I'll post it for you with my emphasis added; 

"In conclusion, thus, there is evidence that Russia may have caused a portion of the refugee flow towards Europe, and was happy to exploit this for propaganda purposes. However, it was at most a side effect of their ‘normal’ approach to the kind of destructive war they have also waged previously, not a central element of their campaign, and not a key driver of the migration crisis, which was well underway when Russia jumped in, and in fact diminished in months to come despite the brutal campaign continuing unabated."

 

The above conclusion quoted in full does not quite meet the standard of proof required to back up your Russian conspiracy theories does it?

Kiev was never the capital of the soviet union.

It is just a war of territory. The soviet union once ruled Ukraine and Putin wants to retrive it back in order to establish his legacy. Moreover, Putin realises his country's reliance on fossil fuels make the Russian economy toast in the face of long term demand destruction. Russia needs Ukrainian land and resources to grow it's economy. It's that simple.

Well done, refusing to read anything of sources provided 

 

Russia Is Taking Advantage of the Invasion-Stirred Migration Crisis

 

By creating migration waves that will destabilize Europe, Putin is harming the continent without directly using military force against countries outside Ukraine. As ever, Putin is happy to generate chaos that will hurt others—and to take advantage of it for Russia

It would be a lesson about an alternative universe because Kiev was never the capital of the USSR.

You yourself now admit that a refugee crisis is a by product of the war and not the causus belli. I want to hear you use the words "middle eastern refugees" in the context of Ukraine again. You seem to have dodged that part of your claim.

Oh dear !

 

OKyiv was the historical capital of medieval Kievan Rus' from 879 to 1240, and is now the largest city and the capital of Ukraine.

Oops! Did the soviet union exist in 1240?

The city is still considered a sacred place for all Orthodox Christians in Russia and Ukraine. It was also the first capital of the Russian State, which at that time was known as Kiev Russ. From Kiev you move to magnificent Moscow, the present capital of Russia and its business and culture centre

That doesn't exactly support your case that Kiev was the capital of the USSR. Kievan Rus at its largest was only a fraction of the size of the USSR.

Go back and reread whats posted and qouted. 

 

I never had a problem to admit Im wrong, and have several times do e so on this fora! Others never ever admit they have been wrong and continue to the bitter end and the topic is closed or cleaned .

 

Sad, really

All I saw was irrelevant stuff like the definition of the term "refugee weaponisation". What I wanted to see but could not find was any credible evidence that the war was

 

1. Started as a pretext to create a refugee crisis to destabilise Europe. Not that it was a by product but started with that motive uppermost as you claimed.

 

2. That any of the refugees were of middle eastern origin other than those in Ukraine before the war.

 

3. That there was any connection between the middle east and the war in Ukraine as a pretext for starting the war..

Why don't you ignore my thoughts and opinions I refer to NATO no-one else.

In propaganda war the ones on the side of biggest bestest media not want to think too far because is safer to agree with. Many ways to be honest sceptic of Nato intention.

If Russia was accepted  at time it  asked for then under rules of Nato Russia would be now neutralize. Refused because Nato need Russia as enemy to keep war machine soak in oil !

There's opinions that are valid by people who don't agree with you.

 

One of my opinions now is Ukraine is wrong attacking now they should hold  line and wait for the F16 support.

Zelenskey should understand that there are limits to what support can be offered,

fine ......   so if Zelenskey decided to pack up and let Russia have Ukraine that would be ok for NATO, the EU and the US ?    oh'   if I remember correctly wasn't it the Budapest Nuclear agreement that Ukraine, the US, Russia and the UK signed in 1994 where In exchange, the U.S., the U.K. and Russia would guarantee Ukraine's security. 

How did that honest agreement work out for Ukraine  ??      I expect Zelenskey wouldn't trust one work from any of their dishonest mouths.  

 

Europe is using Ukraine as a block to stop Russia advancing further west ....  let Russia have Ukraine  !    then see if NATO and the other sit back and watch ......      probably start shaking in their boots. 

 

Not one of those speakers at the Summit could hold a candle to Zelenskey,  they're weak as p_ss ..     that's just my opinion ....   and I suspect alot of others would agree ....

I think most see understandable Zelenskes impatient stance, he needs more statgegty support and should wait for air power support.

I think Zelensky is doing a great job, but I didn't know that he was singlehandedly battling the Russians. Does he wear a cape when he's fighting?

[novacova]

Ukraine will never be a member of NATO as long as the current autocratic kleptocratic government of Russia exists, at least not during the lifetime of anyone here. So stop the pipe dreaming, it’s useless.
